I can solo in dark astoria pretty well, maybe only because I use range to my ungodly advantage.. I.E. snipe, snipe, snipe and snipe.

They're supposed to be on a relatively equal playing field. They're masters at ranged damage, we're masters at melee damage. They have 20% less HP to make up for the advantage of being able to fight at range.
The problem is that ranged vs melee isn't a good way to balance. In melee there's still a whole hell of a lot of problems that a ranged fighter never needs to worry about... first and foremost are the auras. I'm level 21, I am fighting a lot of Tsoo and Pantheon with my scrapper. The hurricane and dark auras are there in nearly every fight with Tsoo (Sorcs are everywhere), and with the avalanche shamans and whatnot... Even if ranged damage were equal to melee, the advantage is still there.
Which is the second problem, ranged and melee damage AREN'T working, it is broken. When I can get hit for 120 every 4 seconds, or 33 every 2 (Warrior Slammer vs Warrior Gunner, respectively) you can see the numbers are off. The problem isn't blasters taking less damage, though... the problem is that the melee damage was balanced towards tankers, and scrappers can't keep up.
But, like I said, I'm not suggesting the mobs need their ranged damage upped, or their melee damage toned down, I'm not advising any nerfs for blasters or tankers, I am suggesting that scrappers need some boost to them. They're not on the same level as blasters/tanks, so instead of lowering the bar to scrapper level, I say up the scrapper to the bar. The crits I was thinking would be a great idea, though every individual report I hear about them from people who play on the test server, say that the current 5% chance to crit is so miniscule as to be almost useless... problem is, that I personally can't really think of much that could be added to Scrappers to make them ideal in a group, or at least on even ground. I've read a lot of good suggestions, though, while browsing the CoH forums
Yeah, I can do some damage, but Scrappers are faster, and they hit much harder than I do.
I don't really mind it, I know my job is to suck up damage, not give it.
It does get exhausting though when all my endurance is gone from trying to defeat only 2 guys.
Please don't take this as a bitch, I think that the two classes are fine the way they are. I know my part, and I enjoy that role.
I like playing my Blasters and my Scrapper though on days when I just want to see a bloodbath.

I want to add that I haven't parsed the damage that I do vs a Scrapper. I just know that it takes me forever to defeat enemies solo. Yet while grouped with Scrappers I have seen them mow through things.
